Soil Requirements

Parsnips grow best in well-worked, organic soil. Plant in the spring, and you'll have parsnips throughout next winter. Leaving them in the ground until after the first frost will make them sweeter in taste.

When they are 6 inches tall, thin them to 3 inches apart. Layer compost around the seedlings and wait until fall to enjoy. You can soak them overnight before planting also to help with better germination.

How to Harvest

Enjoy your homegrown parsnips about 120 days after starting them. Try overwintering parsnips by covering them with a 2-inch layer of mulch.
